LeBron James Wants to Play With Stephen Curry; Warriors Star Responds
LeBron James admitted in a The Shop interview that he would "love" to play with Warriors' Point Guard Stephen Curry. LeBron described the Warriors player as "lethal."
LeBron said that if there is one guy in NBA history that can make 16 threes, it's Steph Curry, according to a Complex report. He shared he was doing the calculations in his head, knowing that Steph has made 12 threes a few times.
He also mentioned other names that he wanted to play basketball with the most.
LeBron mentioned that his son Bronny is on top of his list as far as players he wants to play professional basketball with.
He was asked by Gunna if Bronny could beat him, wherein he answered "Nah, he can't beat me."
LeBron recalled a story when he asked his son why he wanted to get to the pros, and Bronny said that he wanted to make name for himself.
LeBron also picked Scottie Pippen as the all-time player he wanted to play with, as well as Penny Hardaway.
He said that he sees himself in those two.

Lakers' LeBron James Playing with Warriors' Stephen Curry
LeBron drafted Steph to his All-Star team in each of the last two seasons, saying that he "loved every single second" of playing with Curry for the first time in 2021, according to a CBS Sports News report.
Steph responded to LeBron's interview about wanting to play with him, saying that LeBron "got his wish."
The Warriors' player said that LeBron picked him for the last two seasons of the All-Star Games. He added that he does not know if that suffices, but that he is good right now, according to Clutch Points' tweet.
Steph described LeBron as arguably the "MVP kinda caliber dude." He said that LeBron is one of the "greatest of all-time."
Golden State of Mind reported that the statement of LeBron of wanting to play with Steph shows his desire to leave Los Angeles Lakers and join the Warriors in this off-season.
LeBron James' Trade
Kevin Wilde said that he thinks the answer to the Lakers roster is that LeBron leaves totally. He added that the Lakers' players should initiate or at least consider a trade to the Clippers for either Paul George or Kawhi, according to a Sports Illustrated report.
Wilde even suggested that Clippers owner Steve Ballmer would welcome the trade as the latter would want to go all-in on winning.
LeBron had played more games in a season as compared to Pail and Kawhi combined. Noting the last season, the Lakers' player played as many games as Paul as well.
The Lakers forward's age is not something that should hold the Clippers back from trading him. However, LeBron would have to step it up much more than he has done during his Lakers' tenure.
LeBron has averaged at least 25 points, with five rebounds, and five assists in 15 different seasons.
The Lakers could get off of LeBron's salary and rebuild around Anthony Davis and Russel Westbrook.
